Tea plantation in Dharamshala began in the 19th century during the British colonial period and has since been a staple of the region. The lush green tea gardens offer a serene and tranquil environment, providing a visual treat to visitors with their well-manicured estates. One can take a leisurely walk around the plantations and observe the tea-picking process, or even take part in a guided tour to understand the intricacies of tea production. The Tea Gardens also contribute significantly to the local economy by providing employment to a large number of people, especially women, who meticulously pluck the tea leaves with their hands ensuring the best quality.
